It's very nice to find a web site where people
can ask their questions and get answers from
a Catholic.

How old are the books in the Vatican library?

Does the Pope have many books which illustrate
the societal customs of the Jewish people
during the time Jesus lived?

How old are the books, scrolls, earliest
manuscripts and their copies?

Yours faithfully,

Victor

Hi, Victor —

We are not pastors, but faithful
lay Catholics. Nevertheless, thanks
for the compliment.

Your questions would require a lot
of research through various web sites.
You should probably check out the
Vatican library web site. It's the
place to go for information on its
collection and history.
